“Having the community littered with signs is not the way that we want Millcreek to look," said McGrath. “I think it detracts from the aesthetics of the community. I think that it could very well impact the property values of the neighbors. Who wants to have that (signs) out there for months?”

As a former zoning and code administrator, Millcreek Township Supervisor John Groh says he does not support the current limit.

“The fact is, I think a majority of people do the right thing,” said Groh. “When it comes to political signs, the majority of people take them down, they put them back up at a reasonable time and they take them down at a reasonable time.”

Supervisors say the suspension is only temporary, until a judge rules on the motion.

Meantime, Shea tells Erie News Now that she appreciates the supervisor’s decision, but wants to see a permanent solution.

"The point is, the ordinance needs to be changed,” said Shea. “Otherwise, we will be going through this every election cycle."
